Speaking foreign languages -is it necessary?

Intercultural competence IS NECESSARY!

Do you agree with the advices that are given to teachers on the video?
What's your view on that?

This is an incredible story.
I wouldn't have believed it if someone had told me that. I had to see it with my own eyes.

Perhaps humans and animals are a lot closer than we all assume or understand.
They are worth saving, don't you think so?

Applying for a job _ Let´s get some help!

I hope you take advantage of some of these advices!
Do you think they are useful? Share your opinions, please!.

"Go out and find out that new child, that new kid standing over there by himself!"

Don´t worry! Be happy!

 A prayer for the stressed

Grant me the serenity to accept
the homeworks I cannot change,
 the courage to change the things I can,
 and the wisdom to hide the
bodies of those I had to kill today
because they got on my nerves.
And also, help me to be careful
of the toes I step on today
as they may be connected to the feet
 I may have to kiss tomorrow.
Help me always to give 100% at school
12% on Monday
23% on Tuesday
40% on Wednesday
20% on Thursday
and 5% on Friday
And help me to remember …
when I am having a bad day and
it seems that the teachers are trying to wind me up,
it takes 42 muscles to frown,
28 to smile and only 4
to extend my arm and smack
someone in the mouth.
no,no,no
Sorry, I meant to say
only 4 muscles to nod my head and agree to do my assignment!

Isn't it funny? So,are you going to follow this advice ,or what?

The Valley of the Fairy Chimneys - Goreme - turkey

Goreme National Park in Cappadocia, central Turkey, is home to one of nature's most intriguing phenomena.
Commonly referred to as the Valley of the Fairy Chimneys, after the strange rock formations that proliferate in the region, this weird and wonderful landscape was formed when three volcanoes, Erciyes, Hasan and Melendiz erupted around 30 million years ago.
The deposits they created make up a material called tuff, a soft rock that is easily eroded to form extraordinary table mountains, fairy chimneys and undulating, and-dune like cliff faces. For hundreds of years, the indigenous population had carved homes out of the rocks.

Why is English so hard to learn :-) ?

Let's try some irregular plurals!

 

  Help me with the answer please !

 

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is __________;
But the plural of ox should be __________, not oxes.
The one fowl is goose, but two are __________;
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a whole lot of __________,
But the plural of house is __________, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called __________,
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
The cow in the plural may be __________ or kine.
But the plural of vow is __________, not vine.
And I speak of a foot, and you show me your __________.
But I give you a boot — would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are __________,
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?
If the singular is this, and the plural is __________,
Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed kese?
Then one may be that, and three may be __________,
Yet the plural of hat would never be hose.
We speak of a brother, and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
The masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
Just imagine the feminine she, shis and shim!

So our English, I think you will all agree,
Is the trickiest language you ever did see.
Unknown
 
So, can you fill in the blanks ??? Tell me ,please!

Let´s learn some more vocabulary!"
